# Prezo

A TUI-based presentation tool for the terminal, built with [Textual](https://textual.textualize.io/).

- **Timer/Clock** - Elapsed time and countdown (`c`)
- **Edit slides** - Open in $EDITOR (`e`), saves back to source file
- **Export** - PDF, HTML, PNG, SVG formats with customizable themes and sizes
- **Image support** - Inline and background images with MARP layout directives (left/right/fit)
- **Native image viewing** - Press `i` for full-quality image display (iTerm2/Kitty protocols)
- **Blackout/Whiteout** - Blank screen modes (`b`/`w`)
- **Command palette** - Quick access to all commands (`Ctrl+P`)
